"Anything more than five rounds and you are a problem"
In a conversation with another gun owner today, he declared that if anyone needs more than five shots to end a threat then they have a big problem, as in the big problem is that you are incompetent, and that no one 'needs' 30 round magazines or 'assault weapons' (common sporting rifles). Your thoughts? is there truth to the statement? ignorance? I withhold my opinion until I hear some thoughts from the community. I don't mean for this to turn into a flame war. I want to gather insight from other people that I recognize at least know half of what they are talking about, at minimum.
Thanks.

I would say if you need more than 1 shot you're a problem. One Shot, One Kill.
Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Speaking to Fudds is infuriating. Did you try hitting him?

His 'logic' does not account for multiple assailants, which unfortunately is becoming more common. That's why they call them gangs!

Re: "Anything more than five rounds and you are a problem"
I would add, given that the typical hit rate under duress is around 20% to 30% that means five rounds equal 1 to 1.5 hits. If that hit is a non-critical hit, you've emptied your gun and now you'll die because criminals know that more bullets are better than less bullets.

At the core of his desperate firefight was a murderous attacker who simply would not go down, even though he was shot 14 times with .45-cal. ammunition — six of those hits in supposedly fatal locations."A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"

Re: "Anything more than five rounds and you are a problem"
Did this person own a 1911 and wear shirts that proclaim .45 is the best cause they didn't make a .46 or some BS?
Personally, from reading a lot of police articles and reports from other shoots, I expect my performance under duress to go to shit so having more rounds available is better. And also if we are talking pistol rounds, they are pretty lousy at true one shot threat stops..Una Salus Victis Nullam Sperare Salutem
